One look and you know he’s having fun :3
A black and white tuxedo cat with bright yellow eyes is hiding playfully under a piece of crinkled brown packing paper. The cat’s wide eyes and forward-leaning posture make it look like he’s clearly having fun.

Wait, wait, wait, so the drugs that help people (myself included) with mental illnesses are the problem? Explain to me in what world that makes sense. As always, the guns are the problem, neo-Nazism is the problem, people being untreated for mental illness is the problem. Let’s be smart here.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

I have a feeling that promoting my debut novel would be a lot easier if I was “cool”. I haven’t really started yet and I know it’s going to be an additional challenge. Nothing I’m not up for! Being “uncool” is something I have a looooot of experience with ;)

Want to help your favorite authors? There are lots of ways! --buy the book --borrow the book --talk about the book to friends, booksellers, librarians --REVIEW THE BOOK! Even as simple as "I loved it!" is helpful on sites like Amazon (has to do with the algorithm, which is beyond me...) #BookSky

Etymology of the day: spiders were once known as ‘attercops’, or ‘poison-heads’, because it was believed most spiders were venomous. The ‘cop’ element became the ‘cob’ in ‘cobweb’.

I take a lot of photos of my cat with my textbooks but LOOK AT HER FACE IN THIS ONE.
A cat rests her paw on a large textbook and looks smugly at the camera, almost like she has a secret.

I expect that consumer-facing AI programs will continue to improve and they may become much more useful tools for everyday life in the future. But I think it was a disastrous mistake that today’s models were taught to be convincing before they were taught to be right.

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor. He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down. The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him. This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

Without due process, this could be you. It could be me. It could be any or all of us. It doesn’t matter who you voted for. Or the color of your skin. You must understand what is truly at stake here. All tyranny needs to thrive is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

I feel this so very much and also simultaneously feel like one way we're going to get through all of this is to have artists and writers and musicians chucking in to create space for others to experience joy and rest for a moment before going out to fight again in the world. Creation is resistance.

One thing that almost makes me laugh instead of cry is how, on a daily basis, the Tangerine Palpatine administration does something the Republicans would have eaten Dems ALIVE for. The hypocrisy is so loud.
